Religious people, how long do you believe mankind was on Earth?

According to what God's Word tells us about when certain individuals were born, and how old the father was when a child was born, etc., Adam was created 6,037 years ago, give or take a few months. http://www.watchtower.org/e/my/article_03.htm

That is comparable to less than a week, as far as God is concerned, since . . .

"One day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day."---2 Peter 3:8b

“For a thousand years are in your eyes but as yesterday when it is past,

and as a watch during the night.”---Psalm 90:4

That isn't too hard to imagine, because God has no beginning or end to his life:

"Even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God."---Psalm 90:2

So . . . depending on whose viewpoint you are looking from, it could be said that humankind has been on earth for a very long time . . . or . . . a very short time!

Whichever way one looks at it, our Almighty Creator has been busy for a LOT longer than that, though:

“Raise Your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing.”---Isaiah 40:25-26

by potential of way of actuality they have been advised that Dinosaurs are fake, and a scientists attempt to damage the accuracy of religion. The 6,000 3 hundred and sixty 5 days ingredient is in undemanding words a calculation through a non secular freak, and he likely in uncomplicated words better up each of the a lengthy time period that persons lived too back then and gave a random determination. The date of the earth isn't reported interior the Bible. They use carbon relationship in forensics, so i will't see why that isn't be able for use for Dinosaurs. i'd under no circumstances doubt a scientist, except he became properly into an entire whack, yet study the e book Demon Haunted global through Carl Sagan. in truth, some Christians trust that Dinosaurs lived with human beings, by potential of way of actuality human beings were the first residing creatures, and human beings took care of Dinosaurs. there is even an museum the position Cavemen are roaming with the T-Rex. The Caveman can be a bone for the T-Rex, and the human race may haven't any probability. That in uncomplicated words shows you ideas stupid christians are. i imagine of the museum is in Texas.' i'm wondering no matter if the Egyptian Pyramids have hieroglyphics showing the dates, and the dates of even as it became into equipped. I wager they're older then 6,000 years. Or the aztec ruins, and so on. to now no longer aspect accessible isn't any information of a global huge flood, and back then, in undemanding words partial maps were shown, 10,000 years contained in the previous human beings did now no longer map the completed global yet. it really is likewise all of those income like Warren Jeffs, that you word say the global will end the subsequent day!!, in uncomplicated words makes me snigger anytime I hear a nut interest say that.

They believe that the Earth and the entire Universe was created about 6,000 years ago, and that Man was created on the Sixth Day. So according to them, Man has only been on Earth a little less than 6,000 years (never mind the massive fossil evidence to the contrary, to say nothing of the countless other lines of evidence showing the Biblical data to be wrong - evidence means nothing to them.) Some of them are willing to push it back to around 10,000 years, but no further because they need to preclude the possibility of evolution, and allowing the Earth to be millions of years old would give evolution the time it needed, so that must (in their minds) be excluded at all costs.

According to my Bible-based study, we are presently early in the eighth millennium. Most estimates I read are in the 6000-10,000 year range.

I don't know. Defining when "mankind" started is a tricky question. H. Erectus, maybe? So, 1.8 mya?

Let's round and say two million years.

Since God made the earth in 4405 BC October 10

As an agnostic I'd go with between 100,000 and 1 million. Pretty large variety but I can guarentee the 100,000..

Not sure, but we hear so many different estimates on this, I would say perhaps 6000 yrs or so.

6000 years

And why would you ask a question requesting intelligent information from religious people.

Mitochondrial DNA puts humans back at 230,000 years ago. Proto-humans further.
